Guitar Hero Saved Aerosmith


Aerosmith made more money through Guitar Hero than through any of their albums, tours, merchandise. 1Up:
"[Their] version of Guitar Hero generated far more in revenues than any Aerosmith album ever has.... Merchandising, concert sales, their ability to sign a new contract [have] all been unbelievably influenced by their participation in Guitar Hero."

[...]

Between reviving old favorites, showcasing new songs, and earning bands money hand over fist, videogames are clearly good for the music industry.


Bet that won't happen to Metallica?
